List of 3D printer manufacturers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wy do we have alist of 3D printer companies when about 60-70% of the entries are not notable enough to have their own Wikipedia pages? The redlinks could be removed to list only the companies, but then we would have a directory of 3D printer manufacturers. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 16:59, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Many topics are not notable themselves, but can be included in a list. We have a List of pizza chains and a List of radio-controlled model aircraft kit manufacturers, so this seems reasonable. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment for a full list of lists, go to Category:Lists of companies by industry. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:07, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Withdraw and Close, my mistake. ThePlatypusofDoom, any suggestions on solving the redlink issue on that page?HappyValleyEditor (talk) 17:27, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Per WP:LISTCOMPANY, the list could be cleaned up to only include entries with WP articles, with the presumption that those with articles are notable. Companies without articles would need to be properly sourced or deleted from the list. --Mark viking (talk) 17:39, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment HappyValleyEditor, it depends. If it is worthy of an article, fix the red links, but if it isn't, don't make it a link. It really depends on the situation. If you have a good source on any of them, keep it. Find good sources though, don't delete everything that's a red link. See WP:LISTCOMPANY. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
